This was written in response to an article in HuffPost about white supremacy.
The article equates white supremacy with white
nationalism. They’re not the same. White supremacy says that white people are
superior to other people.
A white nationalist, and I admit there are probably varieties
out there, says that when the United States was mostly white (90% when I was a
kid), we did pretty good. We were the
richest nation in the world, we felt safe, and we had the best schools in the
world.
Since 1965, our immigration system has focused almost
entirely on bringing minorities into our country, about 2 million a year and
that’s just those who came legally. Now
we are over 40% minority.
We are also now $22 trillion in debt, just at the federal level,
we don’t feel safe, and our schools are average or mediocre on the world stage.
White people in general don’t hate blacks, Hispanics, and
Muslims. They do reject the government’s
attempts to make this a black, Hispanic, Muslim country.
Mark Steyn is quoted very briefly. I’ve read some of his books. I would really like to see his quotes in
context. But he raises a good point.
If you read the Preamble to the Constitution, it says that
our government exists to form a more perfect union and to insure domestic
tranquility for We, the people. Our government
exists for the sake of the citizens of the United States. It is to seek and promote their welfare
first. Just like you take care of your
family before all the other kids on the block.
It doesn’t mean that you hate all the other kids, but your first
responsibility is to your own family. You
wouldn’t give your kids’ college fund to provide housing for the homeless. Is that bad? Our government is more concerned about citizens
of other countries than the citizens of its own. That is wrong.
Lastly, your article quotes the SPLC as an authority on hate
groups in our country. I have read of a
number of organizations that are definitely not hate groups that the SPLC
thinks are. It also says that there are
148 documented hate groups devoted to white supremacism, an increase of 50%
since 2014. Maybe each group has three
members. The left likes to charge people
and groups with hate in an effort to stop them from talking. It’s hard to defend yourself when the media generally
takes the side of the accuser.
Guess what? In a free
country, people are free to hate. The
only antidote to hate that I know of is Christianity that gives people a
command and a reason to love other people.
Our country has officially turned its back on religion and declared
itself a secular country, but secularism has no answer for hate or evil. It can only make more laws and hire more
police.
